I certainly would not have been happy with my daughters being taught this.
Rules number one would be Do NOT send ANY nude photos to anyone.

Do you realise that schools are teaching sex education to young age primary school children?
In the late 1980s some schools in SA were teaching sex education to pupils in the first 3 months of starting school. One child even knew that the baby comes out head down. The Mother hadn’t taught her daughter that much as she didn’t consider she was old enough to understand.

It’s up to me as a parent to educate my children on what is right and wrong about sexting. No-one else should have that right.

I am the person responsible for teaching my teen how to behave appropriately on social media and via text. We use stories like this as a teaching moment. Whilst such topics may be included in secondary school subjects from Year 9 onwards, It is not the role of schools to teach my child about sex and sex-related topics. I will do than when I see fit. This story and situation is frightening, and parents should be worried. But many parents I know won’t be worried, they’ll be pleases someone else is handling such situations for them. Unfortunately.

I would actually prefer them to not do it at all and will teach our children along that avenue, but if they are going to do it they will do it — it’s not like I don’t remember being a kid and doing things that I knew I shouldn’t do. So with that in mind, this advice is actually not too bad to follow.

Shouldn’t we be teaching them about self respect and not doing this? I think teaching ‘safe sexting’ is just going to encourage them and encourage predators.

I don’t think it is wise to encourage it for youngsters.

While I see the attraction of NO, I think realistically, we need to be offering advice about increasing safety. If they’re going to do it, they need to know how to be as safe as possible.
